functions such as microphone settings. The intercom feature shall also be enabled

room. A second new desktop 10” AMX touch screen shall be located, with an RJ45
Ethernet connection panel, on the Staff Desk. The GUI for this screen shall be a
simplified version of the rack screen, allowing for day to day operation as required by
the staff in the Chambers. A simplified approach to the GUI should be taken, with the
use of preset buttons etc.

system. The wall mounted AMX button panel (lighting control) shall remain connected
to the AMX system.
